The new Fail-safe configuration mode lets you change Keenetic's settings from anywhere without worrying that you'll lose control by choosing the wrong settings. If a remote management session terminates abnormally, the device will automatically reboot in three minutes, and undo the changes. [NWI-1429, NDM-1945, NDM-1844]
On the Connection priorities page, the new colour-coded states option will display the current state for each connection. There are three colours available: [NWI-1326]
Grey — connection is disabled;
Red — no connection or failure to connect;
Green — connection is established.
The new Enable multipath option is now available on the Connection priorities page. You can automatically balance the throughput among included connections by switching the custom Connection Policy to the Multipath mode. [NWI-1328]
On the General system settings page, there is now a checkbox that allows you to enable the SNTP service for the local network. [NWI-1330]
The new Transit requests option of the DNS profile allows profile-linked devices to resolve domain names via the DNS servers requested by the device instead of forcing the resolution via DNS servers specified in the profile. [NWI-1130]
The Software Network Accelerator now offloads IPv6 traffic, including MAP-T and DS-Lite IPv4 over IPv6 traffic, helping to reduce processor load and speed up traffic transfer. [SYS-611]
The new Scan for networks feature provides detailed and graphical information about the networks in the air at the Wi-Fi monitor page. [NWI-1280]
The new Proxy client is available now as a KeeneticOS system component providing Internet access via proxy servers using HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS v5 protocols. [NDM-2195]
The following CLI commands are available to configure the Proxy client component:
interface Proxy0 proxy protocol (socks5 | http)— choose the protocol type for the proxy connection;interface Proxy0 proxy upstream {host} [{port}]— set address and port for proxy service, enter{host}value as<fqdn>or<IP>;interface Proxy0 authentication identity {identity}— set proxy authentication username;interface Proxy0 authentication password {password}— set proxy authentication password;interface Proxy0 proxy connect [via {via}]— choose interface for proxy connection.
The Proxy connection section is available in the Other connections menu for Internet access via HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxy. [NWI-1108]
DS-Lite (IPv6 dual-stack lite) support is now available via automatic IPv4 over IPv6 provisioning, allowing access to IPv4-only enabled resources while the ISP provides a connection with the modern IPv6 protocol. [NDM-2060]
The new TCP/TLS port check mode enhances the Ping Check feature to provide verified protection against Internet access failures. This mode will prevent false-positive results if an ISP redirects traffic to a captive portal, for example, a billing service. [NDM-2094, NWI-1109]
Use the following CLI commands to set:
ping-check profile {name} mode tls— enable TLS mode for Ping Check profile{name}
Or set up via the Web Interface for a required interface:
The new Wi-Fi monitor in the Status section provides a graphical utilization display for the Wi-Fi radio frequency channel currently in use. [NWI-1179]

The new AT command terminal for
UsbLte, andUsbQmimodems in the command-line interface (CLI) provides ultimate flexibility for additional modem statistics and configuration options. [NDM-2266]Use the following CLI command:
interface {name} tty send {command} [expect] [timeout]— send AT{command}to a{name}modem interface
For example, here are the results of two AT commands,
ATIandAT+QTEMP, for the Quectel EP06-E modem as aUsbQmi0modem interface.

Fixed
The button to import PPPoE-settings from previous routers now displays correctly in all the languages of the Web Interface. [NWI-1293]
